Outcome
Reflection
This project is the toughest among all. First time doing site investigation and street intervention. All of us have no idea what to do, just kept on referring to seniors work . It is a good experience to visit the street ourselves as we get to arrange our own time. I struggled a lot in this project as afraid that the information are not precise and detailed enough. On presentation day, we were happy as we get useful comments from the panels.
